Each table provides at least 6 bits of security per character. As such, a 12-character password provides at least 72 bits security.
Print the tables below, place them in your password notebook, and use either 4-sided, 6-sided, 8-sided, or 10-sided dice to generate your password.
Either roll a 4-sided die thrice, or three 4-sided dice once. Each character provides exactly 6 bits security.
Example generating a 12-character password:
1,1,2: % 4,3,1: s 4,2,1: r 1,2,2: & 3,3,1: C 4,1,3: y
1,3,1: # 4,3,2: w 3,4,2: H 2,3,4: ? 1,3,2: ' 1,2,4: .
The password is: %sr&Cy#wH?'.
Either roll a 6-sided die thrice, or three 6-sided dice once. Each character provides approximately 6.17 bits security.
Example generating a 12-character password:
5,3,2: Z 6,6,6: ~ 5,1,1: P 6,1,2: W 6,3,1: R 4,1,4: g
1,2,3: 3 2,6,6: N 6,5,2: \ 3,5,6: M 3,5,4: D 2,2,3: 3
The password is: Z!PWRg3N\MD3
Either roll an 8-sided die twice, or two 8-sided dice once. Each character provides exactly 6 bits security.
Example generating a 12-character password:
8,4: @ 4,5: D 8,5: H 8,5: H 7,3: 7 3,4: ;
4,6: L 5,4: = 3,8: [ 3,3: 3 5,4: = 3,2: +
The password is: @DHH7;L=[3=+
Either roll a 10-sided die twice, or two 10-sided dice once. Each character provides approximately 6.55 bits security.
Note: The last 6 characters at the bottom of the table are blank. Reroll if you get these locations.
Example generating a 12-character password:
1,6: S 7,2: 1 7,10: reroll 7,2: 1 1,10: { 4,6: V 2,3: 6
5,2: / 6,6: X 8,6: Z 5,2: / 5,6: W 9,6: [
The password is: S11{V6/XZ/W[
